Recruiting

Parents, there are posters in the school office to help spread the word about SJS. Please consider taking one to hang at work or share with local businesses. If you'd like a poster, please let us know. Thanks for your support!

This month we will focus on building the skill Disagreeing Appropriately.

Disagreeing respectfully with others, especially on issues we’re passionate about, isn’t easy. Disagreeing respectfully requires time and patience. The situation might not go your way but people will consider your opinions if you present them calmly; others will give you the respect you deserve.

Below are the steps provided to practice this skill with your children:

Look at the person.

Use a pleasant voice.

Tell why you feel differently.

Give a reason.

Listen to the other person.

~HOPE Bring HOPE into your family’s finances! Remember that school families purchasing HOPE certificates can get tuition credits – 45% of the profits on the purchased gift cards/certificates go to the school family as credits, when the Sycamore number is provided. You can also have relatives or friends provide your number to get you more tuition credit. For St. James school families, the tuition credit is doubled through the St. James Angels of HOPE program. Some families receive hundreds of dollars. See the attached HOPE brochure http://www.sjsomaha.org/media/files/2018%20Hope%20Brochure3.pdf and visit the HOPE web site today: http://stjamescatholicchurch.org/hope/hope-home.
